Our Rock Band Story

In late 2007, the Rock Band video game was released. Brandon bought the full band bundle and invited Stephen over to try out the vocals. He was instantly hooked and in less than a year, Stephen was the top ranked vocalist in the world in Rock Band and had started producing creative Rock Band vocals videos. To this day, Stephen continues to compete in Rock Band at a high level and produce more videos. The following are a summary of his accomplishments:
– Completed the first full game, full combos (FGFC) on any instrument of Rock Band 1, Rock Band 2, The Beatles Rock Band, Lego Rock Band, & Rock Band 4. Second FGFC of Rock Band 3.

Stephen’s full game FC on Rock Band 1 was such big news that it was featured on the homepage of Scorehero.

– Held first place on vocals at some point in Rock Band 1, Rock Band 2, The Beatles Rock Band, Lego Rock Band, Rock Band 3, & Rock Band 4.

This is what the XBox Live vocals leaderboard looked like after Stephen completed his FGFC of Green Day Rock Band.

– Has held first place on vocals on Rock Band 1 since April 9, 2008.

Scorehero became the de facto “official” leaderboard for Rock Band 1 after the Blitzkrieg Bop glitch broke the in game leaderboards.

– Held over 200 simultaneous 1st place scores in Rock Band 1 (Over 90% of the songs in the game at the time) before moving on to Rock Band 2.
– Held over 800 simultaneous 1st place scores in Rock Band 2 (Over 90% of the songs in the game at the time) before moving on to Rock Band 3.

In early 2008, before taking 1st place in Rock Band 1, Stephen beat the then 1st place vocalist in the finals of the Season 8 Scorehero leagues by finding a new overdrive path on Gimme Shelter in the final moments of the event.

– Selected as a member of the Rock Band Road Crew at the release of Rock Band 4.

It only took eating a Carolina Reaper while singing They’re Red Hot in Rock Band 3 to get Stephen into the Rock Band Road Crew.

– Was on the exclusive roster of players sponsored by the company Rock Band Parts.
– Was the featured vocalist at the booth of Roadie Game Gear at E3 in 2009.

Stephen and the crew brought in spectators and demoed equipment at the Roadie Game Gear Booth at E3.

– Was the featured vocalist for Harmonix’s live stream unveiling of Rock Band 4’s Brutal Mode.

The Brutal Mode unveiling live stream took place at Harmonix Music System’s headquarters in Boston, MA.

Tyson has also found success in Rock Band vocals. Some of his accomplishments are listed below:
– Completed FGFC’s of Rock Band 1, Rock Band 2, & Lego Rock Band.

Tyson’s FC of Next To You placed him in a select group of people who completed the RB1 on-disc FGFC. He also still holds first place on XBL with this score.

– Has held 2nd place on vocals on Rock Band 1 since June 4, 2009.

After completing the FGFC and jumping into 3rd place on RB1 vocals, Tyson later improved his score on another song to sneak into 2nd place.

– Semi-Finalist of Scorehero.com’s Season 9 Rock Band 1 Vocals League.
Brandon is also a very competent Rock Band vocalist and was ranked in the top 100 vocalists in Rock Band 1 and has been very competitive on various songs in Rock Band 4.
Stephen, Tyson, and Brandon also have been known to occasionally attempt to get first places on harmonies as a team and have been successful at this dozens of times over.
